The Summit Foundation's mission is to reduce the environmental impact of human activities in the mountains, by focusing on the issue of waste.
We are working in four complementary areas:
Established in 2001, Summit Foundation is a Swiss non-profit foundation based in Vevey in the canton of Vaud.
The Foundation employs 5 permanent staff and a commercial apprentice, and benefits from the support of 1 to 3 civil servants throughout the year.
The Foundation Board is made up of 5 members with a wide range of skills, from environmental sciences to marketing, psychology and law.
At Summit Foundation, we encourage ecological awareness without making people feel guilty, by favouring a positive message and concrete actions to encourage change. As part of our commitment to sustainable development and solidarity, we promote professional integration by taking on civil servants and people looking for work, and work with sheltered workshops to manufacture our products.
Do you share our vision? Support our actions by making a donation.
Do you want to take concrete action to protect the mountains? Whether you're an individual, a company or a local authority, your support counts.
Every gesture strengthens our impact on the ground. Thank you for your commitment!
At Summit Foundation, we offer concrete opportunities for involvement within our team. We regularly welcome civilians for both priority and non-priority assignments, ideally for long periods.
We also take part in the BNF programme (National Qualification Programme), which enables jobseekers to undertake supervised work placements within the Foundation, thereby helping them to return to work.
